Meh, I went ahead and gave it the full monty; I changed the setting to allow it to solve for up to something ridiculous like 100 hours. No sense in waiting an hour and a half just to find out I have to start over and give it longer to try every detected source in the image. It shouldn't take anywhere near 100 hours to do that, but if I fall asleep I don't want it to have stopped an hour and a half into it long before I woke up.

It was still solving when I woke up, so I went back and adjusted the levels on the image histogram to clip out all the noise from the image, leaving just the stars. That reduced the detected sources to something like 150 or so, which it can get through in a few hours time. I just went and checked on it and it's halfway done already.

I posted this last night and it's being ignored,
"OK, the video DARK STAR COMETH has two images near the end at times 3:32 & 3:44. Why is it that when those Images are submitted to Astrometry they don't solve? Real Images solve in about a second or less. Your two images time out unsolved. Do you have any Images that will stand up to Astrometry? It would be nice if you did. Anyone can try it, extract the Images and submit them to nova.astrometry.net"

I also ran another image from your video after the scope was adjusted. Their coordinates are pretty close to the center of this image [link to nova.astrometry.net] The KMZ is here [link to nova.astrometry.net]

Yeah, that's the thing, real images generally solve within the first few stars that it looks at; the pattern would be consistent with some location in the real sky. Even if there are extra dots there from some "planet X and its moons" by the time it's searched 20 or 30 or heck, even 50 stars there should be no question where it is in the sky. Instead it was still searching after including 70-80 stars. It had about another 75 to go. When it runs out then I can absolutely say it's not a real image of stars or was photoshopped/altered/distorted so that the 'stars' don't match the positions of any real stars anywhere in the sky. It should be done when I get home this evening.

I removed some of the color and adjusted the brightness of your video to make it look more like that last image at Astrometry.net. Is there some other reason yours was so red?
